We always want a cherimoya, atemoya and longan trees but our yard is limited. So I decide to graft coule varieties on our trees. Thank you Frank for these scions. I picked them up yesterday and grafted them this morning. Last week, I fertilized and watered it. Wish me luck, ill try to update it. Any advice would be appreciated.Here are couple pics

Great looking trees. I love the separation of the scaffold branches on your Cherimoya tree. Your Longan look great as well. Franks got tons of great Annonas. Those are going to be awesome trees. Donít forget Orton in your Cherimoya line up.

Pollen contamination? Are you saying that pollen origin influences fruit type on cherimoyas? That the only way to get true to type fruit from a given cultivar is to separate the cultivars/prevent cross pollination?

I ask because I was supposed to multigraft today but got distracted with my persimmons instead. Would be helpful to know before I start tomorrow.

A couple of different races make a baby of a third race. Fruits are the same.

When you take pollen from one branch to pollinate flower on a different branch you would affect the fruit produced. You could prevent this if you limit pollen of one variety to pollinate only flower of the same variety. It would be hard to collect pollen since there are so little flowers on a branch.

There are people whom don't like to hand pollinate annona. They use a fan to pollinate. If your multi grafted is in a windy area, there is a chance for pollen contamination.

However, don't let this stop you from having multi grafted tree. Right now I have bi grafted trees and one multi grafted. I'm out of space.

Letzjust say there is no winds for pollen contamination, what kind of insects contaminates the polllen???

I prune once a year and use bioflora for Fert. I will post pics of my yard soon. do not let any branch grow longer than 12 inches, and make sure your cherimoya tree has low multiple branches no higher than 18-24 inches, this ensures you can keep dwarf height easy to pollinate. I keep my main canopy under 6 feet when I prune, at end of season it gets back to 9 to 10 feet, but majority of flowers and fruits are on lower 6 feet.
